We're often asked "what should I use instead of 'natural disaster'?"

We've always argued for a simpler approach, one where 'disaster' is sufficient.

Let the rest of the article, tweet, video or blog clarify the type of hazard that created the #disaster.

"When the next one hits, remember we arrived at this point by design."

🌧️ After storms of rain come storms of blame, but the blame game is circular. To stop disasters, writes Brian Robert Cook (@UniMelb), we must prepare for disasters. https://t.co/PVdHIix132
